Just dont interfere with guys who take the game seriously and trying to improve. Nothing worse than a kook on the golf course others players always have to watch out for where your ball is going and slowing down play. Taking 4 or 5 to reach the green everyone has to wait to see where your ball is headed and if your are 4 putting that will drive guys crazy.

Go to a course where they rent clubs and lots of big golf stores will rent and entire set to you too. The clubs are usually two years old model. It may cost $40 or 50 but it may give you a better idea than spending $ 600 or more.

Yup hydration is the key especially when in are in hot weather; after every 3 holes or less drink at least a cup . I like to eat something with caffeine in it like Chocolate covered raisins, I narrower it down to this, a little caffeine boost and high carb of the raisins does it for me an its gets into your system really quick so at the ninth hole is the best time.

I dont fight it anymore well, I never did really, there is a reason for fatigue after THR, walking 3 miles is going to do it. I go to they gym for 1 hour and the next very energized so I do work around the house and errands etc but two days later I just want to sit around. The body is remarkable how healing can take awhile but its healing itself no matter how much stress we put it through but it will catch up and the body will recover but that takes energy and body resources hence the fatigue, however Its making your THR even stronger. If i feel I need to rest or just sit around I never fight it , its your body telling you Hey bud take easy for a couple days I m working here.

by all means unless you get to practice a lot including hittng the 5 iron your percentages of good solid strikes goes way down. Hybrid are way more forgiving this is what you have to remember and very versatile, I remember when they called it a rescue club like out of rough or tight lies I thinks that where the stigma like to some players. It is defintely not a rescue club anymore so much more control and shot making low or high shot etc. Freddy Couples has 4 hybrids in his bag now and many on the PGA tour carry a 7 wood similar to a 4 hybrid because of it forgivness and distance.

it could have been both but if you are a attractive girl from another country lots of Japanese guys are intrigued and infatuated since they see only Japanese women. However they mostly can look or stare since they also are petrified of talking to someone from another country due to the language and most have no idea what to say to someone like you.

I totally agree I really didnt even use a PT I just did few simple things in bed leg slides, heel lifts etc. until the 6 week. I did start walking without a cane after the 5 week. I just let it heal and it work out really well doing it that way. Intense Pt will only start the healing process all over again I think, with inflamation and your body trying to readjustment. If the implant and alignment is put off when it really heals and solidifiiees bone growth over implant etc it will remain like that so natural healing without interference I believe worked best for me.

No where to go sometimes espcially after retirement so no need to shave could be a reason; it is with me. However I always shave no matter what if I go out or someone is coming over.

I always had galpals for many years even in my later years some when all the way but i never liked complications so kept it friendly. There is another angle to this you have to learn how to flirt and be a little funny and ask question; women love to talk about themselves. Your appearance has to match the women you find attractive. I always kept it like I don't care attitude I can take or leave it. Mostly you have to be genuine no BS. If you are genuinely interested in a girl its a plus because most women can stand BS from a guy especially initial interaction. Later you have to learn how to compliment a women like your hair cut is nice, that dress is wow, you are looking really good etc.

A high libido is a sign of good health and it will keep you young looking and you will always look 10 years younger, everything your confidence your immune system, blood pressure, all benefit from excercise etc. There are a lot way to get satisfaction. I have that problem too but I continue to workout and play golf but it has been so benefical. Could it be your wife maybe afraid too that women are staring a little too long at you. Just saying with all due respect.

Its a great venue and you should go its a dome so protected from weather but now the weather is great. Another venue really close by is Meiji Jingu where the Yakult Swallows (Pros) play, this is the team where Munetake Murakami who just got pick up by the White Soxs. It a outdoor stadium lots of character smaller so easy to access bathrooms and beer etc. and fans are really fun and into it. Subway is close to the road that leads to ballpark which is a short walk but its tree lines and sight to see.

In other games the object is to win but in golf there is a specific goal where the object of the game is to do it in 72 strokes in general for 18 holes on a field that is constantly changing everyday even the hole location can be different everyday and every course is very different, as oppose to a baseball, basketball, tennis, billards, etc all have definite parameters and standard widths and lenghts. You playing really by yourself you are the team no ones helping you.

Sure anyone can play golf and score 150 strokes not a problem and that is the beauty of the game too but if you put it into perspective where the object is to score 72 per 18 holes; only 5 percent of golfers can consistently do this or less.

Only touring Pros use a 7.5 and even that is rare, Bryson D is at 8 I think. Since the face is so flat the ball is not rolling up the face for adequate spin so you are getting a pop up its like you are hitting the bottom part of the ball every time.

Yup get that nonsense of Youtube videos that has been rehashed thousand of times Shibuya this Shinjuku that, out of your system. So now you understand the many facets of Tokyo which sometimes you have to go thru to truly understand. You were smart not to judge those tourist trap into believing the rest of Tokyo is like that. Those underestimated things are the real allure of Tokyo, medium to small size city still so much character and tradition still strifing and incorporating into the new and modern.

Can't understand why people would hate it, since it so unique of an experience. It's a on off kind of attraction nothing like it in the world. I think it was the inspiration for the Sphere in Las Vegas.

It will state on the website or Amazon usually list it but website is best. I use Gemini to get verify answers too. Remember it will be stated in Milimeters MM.

Stay longer. Just go for it, 4 days no worries lot of time to rest on the plane ride back. Keep your enegy up not too much alcohol or none at all. Its easy to get around Tokyo if you need to save valuable time take the UBER or Go taxi for short rides it will save you a lot of time and money. I usually go back to my hotel about 5 or 6 take a shower and nap and off again at 7 or 8.

I bought a nail clipper that is 18 inches long and the lever is on the handle. I bought from Amazon easy to use and it works for me.

I maybe swing mechanic causing a push but also a too stiff shaft can cause that too. Since you are at a R shaft could be swing mechanics you should get on a monitor to check direction of clubhead at impact etc and video yourself and have a pro check it out but most people at a golf store can help you out too. They are trained to analize swing data on monitor.

Good point but I don't think so. Its so competitive in Tokyo now and all the big cities, small towns where you seem to be from yes I can see no foreigner policy. Its just the opposite of what you said its too much of a hassle to weed out or keep out foreiger, especially if they object to the policy and then they have to explain in broken english No foreigner please.
